Interweaving the dreamy atmosphere of Ana’ compositions with the experimental sonorities of Sian’s guitar, the duo aims to take the audience into a world where contrasts harmonize.

Ana Dubyk studied vocal jazz at the National University of Music Bucharest, and in 2018 she obtained her master's degree within the jazz department of Prins Claus Music Academy in Groningen, the Netherlands. She performed in various jazz clubs and festivals in Romania, Holland, New York, Germany and the Republic of Moldova. She has collaborated with musicians from Romania, Colombia, USA, Korea, Italy, Spain, France, Lithuania and Russia, such as Mircea Tiberian, John Betsch, Andrea Caruso, Toma Dimitriu, George Dumitriu, Albert Tajti, Michael Acker, Mihai Iordache, and more. Her projects include the groups Blue Noise (acappella), From a Quiet Place or Halcyon (project by means of which she released her first album in September 2022).

After studying at the National University of Music Bucharest, where he was initiated into jazz and free jazz by the pianist Mircea Tiberian, Sian Brie moved to Berlin. There he had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with important musicians of the stages in Berlin, such as Christian Lillinger, Horst Nonnenmacher and Manuel Miethe. After a year, Sian Brie left for London, a city that facilitated his meeting with the musicians together with whom he would form the experimental group UMAMI. Along with UMAMI, Sian Brie has given a series of concerts in Romania, the latest of them on the stage of Cluj Radio Hall and Apollo 111 Theatre of Bucharest. He is a co-founding member of the experimental music group And then This! The musicians he collaborates with feature Mircea Tiberian, Maurice de Martin, Michael Griener, Mihai Iordache, and more.
